Barcelona’s David Villa suggests Yamal faces a challenging path to becoming Messi’s heir.
Former Barcelona star David Villa has spoken about the potential “heir” to Leo Messi, Yamal.
In an interview with the Spanish newspaper AS, Villa shared some insights on the subject.
“Right now, he is not having a good time, which is normal,” Villa remarked, reflecting on Yamal’s current form.
He further commented, “Barça is Barça. It is a club where being second is not enough.”
These comments from Villa underscore the high expectations and pressures at Barcelona, particularly for young players like Yamal aiming to fill the massive void left by Messi.
